Not sure how everyone else thinks it should be configured compared to what it is now (I think we all agree it's horrible as is), but thought I would do a quick and dirty photoshop of how I think Ford should have done it. I could be wrong, but can't imagine it would take all that much for the Dev's to give a much better layout than they did!

This is actually a great layout! I wish Ford would have made this layout over what we currently have.

That does look great. But I drove my neighbors Ram yesterday and it's not much different than the ST. Just a little larger due to the bigger screen that it has.

It makes me wonder if the larger screens for Sync 4 will be an after though on all this stuff as well since smaller screens will still be the standard I'm sure. It's really sad they don't put more thought into it.

My BMW overlayed the vehicle sensor graphic on top of the 360 camera. Saves even more space.

The smaller screen does that I think, it makes sense on that one. However I can't see a layout where that would work well with the portrait layout of the large screen, you really couldn't have both camera views use the whole screen.

Interesting, link?

Im hopping they also fix the android auto/carplay full portrait display. Subaru did it for Apple Carplay and looks much better.

For comparison sake, this is what the cameras look like on my Mach-E...which makes much better use of the entire screen. Needless to say I was disappointed the first time I put my ST in reverse.
